A family of excited cats prepares for and celebrates Passover: they clean the house, set the table, pray and sing at the seder, and eat a special meal. The singsongy rhymes and cat-themed puns (“Meow-nishtanah...” begins the cat chanting the Four Questions) can grow tiresome, but the book is faithful to the traditions of the holiday. Energetic if somewhat one-note illustrations show the kitties having a blast. Instructions for making a “meow-tzah cover” are appended.
